Details

there have been reports of some network pcmcia cards not working with the latest pcmciautils: in one case (zaggy-nl) the interface didn't show up even though the card is active and modules were loaded. a workaround replacing 60-pcmcia.rules with the old version found in pcmciautils-014-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz was reported to work.

I found one error in 60-pcmcia.rules: the paths for pcmcia-check-broken-cis and pcmcia-socket-startup are broken. they point to /lib/udev/ while the binaries are installed to /sbin/

I can't confirm that just moving the executables to /lib/udev will fix these cards, but it is a bug.

zaggy-nl in #archlinux who has a greycell gcs2220 pcmcia ethernet card.

pcmciautils 15
udev 119
This task depends upon

I asked zaggy to try it, but I haven't heard anything back.

I'm using an old XirCom PCMCIA network card (xirc2ps_cs).
For me it works again with pcmciautils-15-2 from the testing repository.

-2 is working fine now with all my 11 (multiple wifi & ethernet, usb2, firewire, cfcard-adapter) pcmcia and cardbus cards.
